ArcherPoint Dynamics NAV Developer Digest - vol 214
The NAV community, including the ArcherPoint technical staff, is made up of developers, project managers, and consultants who are constantly communicating, with the common goal of sharing helpful information with one another to help customers be more successful.
As they run into issues and questions, find the answers, and make new discoveries, they post them on blogs, forums, social media…so everyone can benefit. We in Marketing watch these interactions and never cease to be amazed by the creativity, dedication, and brainpower we’re so fortunate to have in this community—so we thought, wouldn’t it be great to share this great information with everyone who might not have the time to check out the multitude of resources out there? So, the ArcherPoint Microsoft Dynamics NAV Developer Digest was born. Each week, we present a collection of thoughts and findings from NAV experts and devotees around the world. We hope these insights will benefit you, too.
Event Recorder in Dynamics 365 Business Central
Matt T shares, “A nice, quick blog from Stefano about the Event Recorder. Just further proves, in my opinion, that you won’t be seeing base code come the semi-near future. I think we’re still a couple of years out, though.” Check out Stefano Demiliani’s Dynamics 365 Business Central: Using the Event Recorder for Developing article.
“Git” Going with Extensions
From the Dynamics NAV Team Blog, “Git” Going with Extensions is a follow up to the announcement of the ALAppExtensions repository on Github, a place to collaborate and develop extensions in the AL language for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This article is a step-by-step walkthrough of setting up your environment, cloning a repository, opening the Extension in the sandbox, working with a repository, and submitting changes to a GitHub project.
